Restoring Your Railway Fund
The title of this post, is the same as that of this document on the Government web site.
A section gives the list of the first ten individual projects, that are being backed by the fund.
- Reopening Meir Railway Station Between Stoke-On-Trent And North Staffordshire
- Reinstatement Of The Barrow Hill Line Between Sheffield And Chesterfield
- Reinstatement Of The Ivanhoe Line
- Reinstatement Of Branch Lines On The Isle Of Wight
- Reinstatement Of The Abbey Line Between St Albans Abbey And Watford Junction
- Reopening Of Wellington and Cullompton Stations
- Reinstatement Of The Bury-Heywood-Rochdale Lines
- Reinstatement Of The Clitheroe To Hellifield Railway Line
- Reinstatement Of Rail Access To Devizes Via A New Station At Lydeway
- Reintroduction Of Passenger Rail Services On The Waterside Line
These are a few general thoughts.
Decarbonisation and Climate Change
The Government document does mention decarbonisation or climate-change.
But the Government is committed to be carbon-neutral by 2050, so in my analysis, I will take that into account.
Vivarail
These projects could use versions of Vivarail’s Class 230 trains.
- Reinstatement Of Branch Lines On The Isle Of Wight
- Reinstatement Of The Bury-Heywood-Rochdale Lines
They must be doing something right.

the gov has just published its National Infrastructure Strategy https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/938049/NIS_final_web_single_page.pdf P41 of this lists the projects from round 2 receiving funding:
“reopening Beeston Castle and Tarporley station
in Cheshire, St. Anne’s Park station in Bristol, and
Ferryhill station in County Durham; reinstating links
between Bolton, Radcliffe, and Bury; the Stratford
upon-Avon to Honeybourne/Worcester/Oxford line;
new stations at Waverley in South Yorkshire and a
station in the Langport/Somerton area of Somerset;
improved services from Melton Mowbray and Falmouth;
upgrading the South Fylde Line; the Maid Marian line
between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire; reinstating
rail access to Cirencester; restoring services between
Swanage and Wareham; the South Humber rail link; and
a new link between Consett and Newcastle”.
No mention of this as yet on the RYR website.
There’s quite a lot to digest in this strategy. The intentions look good, but as usual the proof of the pudding …
